"While the company and I may disagree about the exact circumstances surrounding my unfortunate departure, we all collectively agree it's time to move on," he said in a statement.

So what's next?

Virk is headed to digital subscription service DAZN, where he will anchor a daily MLB highlight show called "ChangeUp," the company confirmed in a news release Friday.

Virk, 40, was one of ESPN's primary hosts on "Baseball Tonight," which makes him a good fit for a similar role on DAZN.

"This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my career," Virk said in a statement. "The vision DAZN has for ChangeUp and its future programming goals made this an easy decision and I look forward to working with all of the talented people involved to develop a can’t-miss show for baseball fans."

As Awful Announcing notes, DAZN just signed a three-year deal with MLB, which will include a live show each weeknight that will "seamlessly whip around live MLB games to showcase the most suspenseful moments, crucial plays and biggest rallies."

DAZN is run by former ESPN president John Skipper and its head of talent, John Santry, was previously at CAA, the agency that represents Virk.
